Criminal Case

Jessica was always very prepared, very articulate and had a great understanding of the laws. I was amazed by her performance in the courtroom as she outperformed and outclassed the viscous prosecution. Thank you Jessica for seeing me through a well deserved acquittal!!

Unknown lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I know Jessica Jones from her work at the McLean County state's attorney's office. I am a criminal defense attorney who handles many DUI cases. Jessica was an assistant state's attorney in charge of the DUI courtroom. For an assistant state’s attorney, the DUI courtroom is a very labor-intensive and high-volume assignment. No matter how busy Jessica was she was always very pleasant, courteous and professional. Jessica is great at multitasking. Jessica could negotiate with attorneys, fill out plea and sentencing documents and answer questions from the judge seemingly all at the same time. Jessica ran a very efficient courtroom. Jessica was reasonable in her negotiations and a skillful litigator. In conclusion, I believe Jessica Jones is a credit to the legal profession."
